The Trial of Civilians by Military Courts
Author: Seán Enright
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780716531340
Category : Ireland
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
In December 1920, Ireland's War of Independence hung in the balance. The response of the government at Westminster was a declaration of martial law in the south and west of Ireland, placing the courts and civil authorities under the control of the army, and also converting a number of non-capital charges into offenses punishable by death. The army then set up its own courts to bring to trial and to punish those who contravened martial law. The lower tier of the military court sent 549 people to prison and recommended many others for internment. The upper tier of the court tried 128 people. 37 men were sentenced to death, of which 14 were executed. Many others received long sentences of imprisonment. This book provides a full account of the historical context and a legal justification for martial law asserted by the government of Lloyd George. The legal, moral, and constitutional issues are examined, along with an analysis of the circumstances of the conflict and the policy decisions wh

Reconstructing the Dreamland
Author: Alfred L. Brophy
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190289694
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
The 1921 Tulsa Race Riot was the country's bloodiest civil disturbance of the century. Thirty city blocks were burned to the ground, perhaps 150 died, and the prosperous black community of Greenwood, Oklahoma, was turned to rubble. Brophy draws on his own extensive research into contemporary accounts and court documents to chronicle this devastating riot, showing how and why the rule of law quickly eroded. Brophy shines his lights on mob violence and racism run amok, both on the night of the riot and the following morning. Equally important, he shows how the city government and police not only permitted looting, shootings, and the burning of Greenwood, but actively participated in it by deputizing white citizens haphazardly, giving out guns and badges, or sending men to arm themselves. Likewise, the National Guard acted unconstitutionally, arresting every black resident they found, leaving property vulnerable to the white mob. Brophy's stark narrative concludes with a discussion of reparations for victims of the riot through lawsuits and legislative action. That case has implications for other reparations movements, including reparations for slavery. "Recovers a largely forgotten history of black activism in one of the grimmest periods of race relations.... Linking history with advocacy, Brophy also offers a reasoned defense of reparations for the riot's victims."--Washington Post Book World
